Description

I have made quite a few changes to my system, including going to Halcro amplification and adding a Rega turntable setup and Linn Akurate DS and Akurate 212s speakers.

System edited: I added a Halcro amp and a turntable setup in addition to the Linn Akurate DS and 212s.

Oh, I also connect a 5-disc carousel from Philips and a Sony VHS VCR that my wife and children use. Not to be snobby, but I don't consider those part of the system because I don't pretend to play real music through either one.

Deven8: I will try to get photos up soon but to say that it is a hodge podge of a system is a bit of an understatement.

Mccmt: I don't have any direct experience with the Klout so anything I say would be pure speculation. Having said that, I am not exactly taxing the 5125 with the centers and the surrounds, except on multi-channel SACD and DVD-A. Because the Exotik doesn't have a digital module as of today (Linn, get that module out!!!!!), I don't have any real sense of how it would behave in dolby digital or dts recordings for HT purposes.

System edited: I recently made some changes: sold the Keilidhs and am using the Katans instead as left/right fronts. I did this because the listening room in my new house already had a built-in set of M&K surrounds. I am also moving to the Akurate line of bookshelfs and subwoofer, but that should be by the end of the year.

System edited: Well, I finally did it and got the Unidisk 1.1. It truly is a remarkable unit.

System edited: I finally sold the Lexicon and moved to the Linn Exotik. Wow, what a difference . . . John
